Choosing a therapist that is both really good AND a great fit is important. There is a difference here you will experience from the get go. The office is in a 1930's Cape Cod style house...inviting & comfortable. With warmth and character. David is unusually relational and "real." Sessions are 60, 75 or 90 minutes rather than 50.

I offer individual and relationship therapy focused on long term addiction recovery, behavioral addictions, healing trauma, and improving relationships.
Life can leave you feeling lonely, anxious, and depressed. But you don’t need to stay there. I invite you to inquire within. It's time to reconnect with the wisdom within you. Your body carries information that you haven't tapped into or perhaps don't yet have access to. I'm here to help you realize that the answers are already there. We might just need to shine some light on the shadows (things that have been to hard to look at). Acknowledging and integrating those parts that have been ignored or tucked away can lead to more authentic ways of showing up in your relationships with yourself, with others, and with the planet.

I believe in the transformative power of genuine human connection during times of struggle, and strive to nurture a therapeutic relationship based on active listening, heart-felt empathy, & trust.
Daily challenges, painful experiences or emotions, and uncertainty are all common, shared experiences of being human. These moments along with simply feeling lost, alone, stuck, sad or anxious offer opportunities for healing and growth! Starting therapy is a positive step towards accessing inner resilience and bringing voice to your authentic self. Through individual, group, and family counseling, I work with kids, "tweens," teens and adults navigating a range of life's stressors including transitions, relationship issues, anxiety/overwhelm, grief/loss, school/work struggles, parenthood, caregiving, and finding purpose.

" I believe healing transpires collaboratively by cultivating a trusting client-clinician relationship.
My primary focus is relational psychotherapy. My approach resonates with clients who are curious about themselves and others, who want to cultivate deeper and more intimate relationships and who are open to exploring frameworks of mental health beyond the medical model and psychiatry. When I do guide clients through the confusing landscape of medications I rely on the philosophy that medications are tools to ease suffering not cure it. I believe the human baseline state is confident, compassionate and creative. Though sometimes we lose touch with these for life's inevitable hardships, we all have the capacity to return.

As we build trust and relationship, your nervous system can learn ways to rest in safe connection.
Experiencing trauma, loss, or upheaval is destabilizing and isolating. It can erode the relationships we value the most while making us call into question our sense of identity. Even if we avoid consciously thinking about it, the imprint of our past can wreak havoc on our physical health, our nervous system, and our present experience. The healing process asks us tune into our intuition and our bodies so that we can notice which parts of ourselves most need our attention and care. I can offer tools and support for those seeking to regain a sense of safety and connection with themselves, others, and the world around them.

Relationship Issues Therapists
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
